Dietrich Klinge is among the most profound and prodigious sculptors working today. His bold forms expressively carved and meticulously cast figures, are rarities across the international scene. For their great visual force they maintain a solemn power of contemplation, even weighty introspection. Such duality between the active and assertive presence and the quiet and thoughtful spirit of each sculpture is paired with duality of the artist’s creative control and the energy and life-force of the natural wood from which each sculpture originates. Klinge’s sculptures are forces of energy both from and within the natural world. (Joseph A. Becherer) Galerie Clairefontaine is proud to present a selection of works by Dietrich Klinge at Galerie Clairefontaine Espace 1, and some of his monumental bronze sculptures on “Place de Clairefontaine”.
